Documents: Jail-Issued Tablet Used to Receive Child Porn, Order Murder
March 11, 2022
GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) - New court documents say a sex offender at the Kent County Jail used his jail-issued tablet to ask his girlfriend to kill a 15-year-old that both are accused of sexually assaulting.
Kent County Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young tells WOOD-TV that the word "dead" was flagged in message that Matthew Cook sent to Kari Ann Santizo, who allegedly told a Grand Rapids Police investigator that she also assaulted the victim.
Investigators also say Cook also used the device to request - and receive - child pornography.
